An excruciating howl escaped Chen Chen’s throat, being pushed back forcefully, more than a dozen zhang.
“Patriarch!” The two Chen Family Grand Elder were astounded, waking up from their inaction, both rushed to Chen Chen’s side. The problem was, the appalling sight of Chen Chen’s arm made them draw a sharp intake of breath.
Chen Chen was a late-Fourth Order Saint realm expert, the tough physique of a Saint realm expert was undeniable, their bones were comparable to ten thousand years old hard iron, yet it was shattered with one punch! The entire arm was crippled!
Could a human possess such terrible force?!
Chen Chen steadied himself, there was fear in his eyes as he looked at Huwang Xiao at this moment. Others might not have understood, but he felt it deep in his soul the real extent of Huwang Xiao’s strength.
Just now, Huwang Xiao did not use any battle qi, all of it was solely the power of his physique! However, even an ancient mythical beast couldn’t have that kind of raw, brute force!
“Who are you?! You’re not someone from the Blessed Buddha Empire!” Chen Chen couldn’t stop himself from exclaiming, his voice awkward as if he had just sung a thousand songs.
If there was such an expert in the Blessed Buddha Empire, it was impossible that he didn’t know about it.
Huwang Xiao’s face remained indifferent, “I’ve never said that I am from the Blessed Buddha Empire.” Huwang Xiao slowly approached Chen Chen as he speak, “That’s right, I killed your son. Also, your other son, Cheng Dingyuan was also killed by me.”
Chen Chen staggered listening to Huwang Xiao’s confession, his second son was assassinated a few years ago, all this time he had been trying to find the killer, but he never would have thought that it would be this black-haired young man!
Because the Buddhist House waiter did not mention this matter to Chen Chen, he was left in the dark about his second son also being killed by Huwang Xiao.
Huwang Xiao continued to narrow the distance between them, while Chen Chen and the two Grand Elders actually retreated subconsciously. The families’ disciples that ridiculed Huwang Xiao with courage earlier retreat far back with apprehension.
Shi Xiaofei’s attention was stuck on Huwang Xiao, great waves hit her heart; who was this young man? Who was this young man?
By this point, Prince Tai Gan, who came with Chen Chen and the two elders, also retreated to one side, trying not to stand out and draw Huwang Xiao’s attention. Although he wasn’t weak, he was a lot worse compared to Chen Chen.
Chen Chen continued to step back, but the eyes of the families’ disciples and prince palace guards were like tens of thousands of silver needles stabbing into his body. Never in his entire life had he endured such humiliation!
Anger accumulated in Chen Chen’s heart with every step back that he took, being pushed past the breaking point, the exasperated Chen Chen roared with fury: “I’m going to kill you!” Battle qi broke out from Chen Chen’s body at full force, and a great Peng Bird materialized above him, soul transforming without wasting any time.
Seeing this, both Chen Family Grand Elders also summoned their martial spirit and soul transformed.
Both Chen Family Grand Elders were also Fourth Order Saint realm, one was peak late-Fourth Order Saint realm, and the other was mid-Fourth Order Saint realm.
Huwang Xiao sneered watching them, he turned to Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu: “No need to interfere.”
His words left the crowd dumbstruck.
Was this black-haired young man planning to fight one against three?! He might be powerful, but could he fight against three at the same time?
Before the crowd’s shocked eyes, Asura qi surged from Huwang Xiao’s body, piercing the sky, both black and blue dragons flew out from his body, overwhelming the four directions of the Blessed Buddha City with overpowering dragon might.
“I know who he is, he is Young Noble Divine Dragon!!” A family’s disciple shrieked at the top of his lungs, fearing that no one would hear him.
Ch.381
That family disciple’s loud shout was like a large boulder splashing into the sea, raising thousand layers of waves through the crowd.
“Young Noble Divine Dragon! Young Noble Divine Dragon Huwang Xiao?!”
“He is that Young Noble Divine Dragon Huwang Xiao?!”
“That’s right, according to rumors, Young Noble Divine Dragon Huwang Xiao’s martial spirit was a pair of twin, a black and a blue, primordial divine dragons. The one and only unique blue dragon in the Martial Spirit World!”
The whole Blessed Buddha Temple square was in an uproar.
Surprise, shock, and excitement flickered passed the crowd as they stared in adoration at the black and blue dragons hovering above Huwang Xiao’s head.
The black and blue twin dragons were like two majestic divine mountains as they hovered in the sky, the dragon might radiating from their bodies seemed to envelop everything under the heavens in an oppressive pressure.
“Young Noble Divine Dragon, he is Young Noble Divine Dragon!” Shi Xiaofei watched Huwang Xiao, an unknown sparkle lit her eyes as she muttered to herself. Young Noble Divine Dragon Huwang Xiao’s fame had spread to every corner of the Snow Wind Continent. As Blessed Buddha Empire’s Princess, although she rarely left the Blessed Buddha Palace, Huwang Xiao’s name was familiar to her.
In recent days, the most talked about topic among the Blessed Buddha Palace maids and palace guards was one and the same, this Young Noble Divine Dragon. Including the imperial consorts, noble ladies, and her mother, the Empress of the Blessed Buddha Empire, eulogized Huwang Xiao often.
According to the stories passed between the palace maids, consorts, and noble ladies, this Young Noble Divine Dragon was the incarnation of the Dragon God, a reincarnated God, undefeated, a living legend!
Capable of killing Deities Templar Elder Ao Baixue when he was just a peak late-Xiantian Tenth Order!
Half a year later, he broke through to Saint realm!
In this Martial Spirit World, no one dared to oppose Deities Templar, except for him, Young Noble Divine Dragon!
Not long ago, he executed seven Deities Templar Elders in the Luo Tong Kingdom!
Every time those palace maids, palace guards, consorts, and nobles talked about Young Noble Divine Dragon, their eyes shone with veneration, adoration, and worship.
Shi Xiaofei continued to stare at Huwang Xiao’s face without blinking, she herself did not notice that, at this moment, there was no one else in her eyes except for Huwang Xiao.
“Princess.” One of Shi Xiaofei’s maids called out, but Shi Xiaofei did not react. The maid called several more times before Shi Xiaofei heard someone calling her, “What is it?”
The palace maid said, “Princess, we should move to the back, they are about to fight.” Huwang Xiao, Chen Chen, and the two Chen Family Grand Elders battling, one could imagine the destructive impact they would create to the surrounding, practically the entire square would be destroyed. Even though Shi Xiaofei was also a Saint realm warrior, she could hardly bear the shockwaves from these four people’s battle.
Only now did Shi Xiaofei notice that everyone in the square had retreated out of the area, this made her face heat up with embarrassment, slightly red. What was wrong with her just now?
Immediately, Shi Xiaofei and her maids retreated from the square, leaving four people in the temple square. Huwang Xiao instructed Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu not to interfere in the battle, so both of them and the two giant puppets retreated to the edge like everyone else.
Chen Chen and the two Grand Elders were confounded as they stared wide-eyed at the black and blue twin dragons above Huwang Xiao. This black-haired young man was the individual hailed as the most monstrous talent the Martial Spirit World had ever seen, Young Noble Divine Dragon, Huwang Xiao?!
Realizing it was Huwang Xiao, the three people that were about to attack together stopped abruptly, the fear in their eyes was clear to see. They heard that, in Luo Tong Kingdom, seven Deit
ies Templar Elders died under Huwang Xiao’s Poison Corpse Scarabs!
Huwang Xiao controlled a small army of Poison Corpse Scarabs that was capable of killing high-level Saint realm experts.
Attack? Didn’t that mean dying faster? Asking themselves if they could deal with the Poison Corpse Scarabs was superfluous.
Watching the three people’s indecisive expressions changing rapidly one after another, Huwang Xiao needn’t guess, for he already knew what they were wary of, “Rest assured, when we battle, I will not use the Poison Corpse Scarabs.” , Huwang Xiao soul transformed with the twin dragon martial spirits, disappearing from sight in a flicker. Before one could blink, Huwang Xiao appeared right in front of them, both hands gripped into fists, punching out.
Powerful fists shattered space, intangible and surreal, distorting the surrounding space with an ethereal force. This attack was directed at all three people.
“Great Void Divine Fist!” Chen Chen’s face tightened, countering swiftly with his Infinite Sea Palm. The other two Grand Elders were alarmed, acting half a beat slower than Chen Chen, but still displayed their full force.
Rumble! The earth trembled.
The people who had retreated out of the Blessed Buddha Temple square felt as if their eardrums were about to explode, minds dizzied. Looking over, they saw Chen Chen and the two Grand Elders being forced back.
“Absolute Soul Finger!” The fist changed to finger, a finger pointed out from both hands, sending out rolling gray fog and shrill shrieks of unknown creatures. Finger imprints pierced through the void, rendering the enemies defenseless against it.
Chen Chen’s party of three kept dodging around, extremely miserable.
“Earthen Buddha Palm!” Huwang Xiao’s attack changed once more, from finger to palm. Dazzling Buddha luminescence covered the square in grand momentum, shadows of Buddha statues reflected in light prisms.
The glorious scene shook everyone to the core. To their knowledge, there didn’t seem to be any Buddhism battle skill with that kind of power in the Blessed Buddha Empire.
“Asura Demon Claw!” Fingers curled, forming into claws, black demonic Asura claws overcast the sky, blanketing the bright sky in sudden darkness.
Feeling the eerie and chilling aura coming from the countless Asura demon claws, the crowd retreated further back in haste.
“God Binding Palm!” Huwang Xiao resorted to another palm attack. Striking both palms forward, aureate rings expanded in layers. Wherever they passed, everything stood still.
Starting from the Great Void Divine Fist, Huwang Xiao executed a chain of powerful attack, each of them was a high-grade Heaven rank battle skill that others could only dream of, moreover, Huwang Xiao displayed them after he soul transformed, pushing the attack power to another level altogether. Merely judging from power, Huwang Xiao had far surpassed Chen Chen and the two Grand Elders.
Regardless whether there were three of them, Huwang Xiao still overpowered them.
The three men were reduced to punching bags, repeatedly retreating and dodging. Chen Chen’s shoulder was hit with the Absolute Soul Finger, one of the Grand Elders was struck with the Earthen Buddha Palm, while the last one was clawed by the Asura Demon Claw.
From afar, the crowd shivered watching Huwang Xiao making mincemeat of three Saint realm experts, fearful yet the fanaticism was just as fervent.
Three Saint realm experts’ joint efforts couldn’t defeat a single Huwang Xiao?! If they weren’t mistaken, Huwang Xiao broke through to Saint realm no more than a few years ago. So, what was his real strength now?
This was too scary! Huwang Xiao’s monstrous talent was too terrifying to gauge, rendering everyone at a loss for words.
“So handsome! If Young Noble Divine Dragon could look my way just one time, I’m willing to shorten ten years of my life!” A noble family’s young miss said, her sparkling eyes staring at Huwang Xiao.
This applied the same Wang Dong logic when he claimed that if Princess Shi Xiaofei was willing to say a sentence to him, he was willing to shave off ten years of his life.
“If Young Noble Divine Dragon is willing to give me a kiss, I’m willing to do away with twenty years!”
“If Young Noble Divine Dragon would be willing to kiss me twice, I’m willing to die for him!”
“Relying on your face, you think you can capture Young Noble Divine Dragon’s interest?”
Amongst the crowd, the families’ young misses fought tit for tat, and the atmosphere became noisy again.
A booming blast rang out high above the square, pulling the crowd’s attention. Looking up, the Chen Family’s men were slammed to the ground by Huwang Xiao. The entire square quaked visibly as three bodies hit the ground.
Gently floating down, Huwang Xiao slowly approached them. Chen Chen and the Grand Elders despaired, their fighting spirit crushed. Yet, at this time, several whelming auras were rushing to the Blessed Buddha Temple from a distance at rapid speed.
Huwang Xiao and everyone else looked over.
“It’s the Emperor, the Emperor is here!” Loud exclamations rang outside the square.
Coming closer, the crowd could make out that the person at the front wore dragon robe and had a clean fair-skinned face—Shi Fantian.
Ch.382
“Our Great Emperor is here! The Chen Family is part of our Blessed Buddha Empire, every generation has always been loyal to our Blessed Buddha Empire, the Emperor is definitely here to help the Chen Family!”
“There’s a good show to see now! Unless Young Noble Divine Dragon brings out his Poison Corpse Scarabs, he definitely isn’t our Great Emperor’s opponent!”
The families’ disciples discussed loudly as if they found their support.
Chen Chen and the two Chen Family Grand Elders brightened watching Shi Fantian and the Saint realm guardians of the Blessed Buddha Empire arrive at the scene. A blinding light flashed, when it disappeared, Shi Fantian and Blessed Buddha Empire’s six top expert guardians were standing in the square.
“Greetings, Great Emperor!” Prince Tai Gan, the prince palace guards, and the many families’ disciples around the square all knelt down in salute.
“All rise.” Shi Fantian spoke. With Shi Fantian’s permission, everyone rose to a stand.
“Royal Father.” Shi Xiaofei approached, curtseying in salute.
Shi Fantian nodded at his daughter while smiling faintly before stepping toward Huwang Xiao.
The four corners of the square became deadly quiet, watching Shi Fantian walking toward Huwang Xiao, one step after another.
Shi Xiaofei became nervous seeing this, not knowing why, she was worried for Huwang Xiao.
However, Chen Chen and both Grand Elders climbed up awkwardly from the ground, staggering until they arrived in front of Shi Fantian.
“Emperor, you must seek justice for us.” Chen Chen pleaded without losing decorum.
Shi Fantian nodded on the surface, whereas a bitter smile emerged inside. Before the watchful eyes of the crowd, Shi Fantian stopped three meters from Huwang Xiao. Standing still, Shi Fantian and Huwang Xiao faced each other in silence.
While everyone watching grew more nervous by the minute, thinking that a battle was about to break out between Shi Fantian and Huwang Xiao, suddenly they heard Shi Fantian’s low laughter, “Junior Brother, it's only been a few years since we've last seen each other, I didn’t imagine, ah, that your current strength has almost caught up to me.”
When Huwang Xiao was in the Blessed Buddha Empire that year, when he was chosen by the Blessed Buddha Altar to receive the Buddhism energy baptism and given one chance to meet with Shi Fantian, he was merely a Xiantian Third Order.
But now, not even a decade later, the three Chen Family’s Saint realm warriors join efforts still failed to defeat Huwang Xiao!
Shi Fantian lamented in his heart.
Huwang Xiao looked at Shi Fantian, a smile also bloomed on his face, “Senior Brother, it’s been several years since we’ve met, I hope you’ve bee
n well.”
Both grinned widely at each other just like reunited long lost friends.
Junior Brother? Senior Brother? The people around anticipating a battle to break out stood woodenly, stupefied.
Including Shi Xiaofei, she was looking dazed and confused. Although she was Shi Fantian’s daughter, she didn’t know that her father had met Huwang Xiao years ago and that Huwang Xiao was actually Shi Fantian’s Junior Brother.
Shi Fantian glanced at Chen Chen’s group of three, saying to Huwang Xiao, “Junior Brother, give me face, let the matter end here, how about it?” On the way here, he was informed of the conflict between Huwang Xiao and the Chen Family.
Huwang Xiao glanced in Chen Chen’s direction, that simple action made Chen Chen and both Grand Elders hearts tighten with unease.
Huwang Xiao nodded. Since it was Shi Fantian who spoke on their behalf, it wouldn't be good if he did things too forcefully. After all, it wasn’t as if he and the Chen Family had an immortal blood feud. His little conflict with the Chen Family was trivial compared to the one with Deities Templar.
Seeing this, all three Chen Family’s men secretly breathed in relief.
“Patriarch Chen, shall we let the matter rest here?” Shi Fantian’s heart relaxed slightly seeing Huwang Xiao nodding in agreement, and he looked over at Chen Chen.
“We will obey Your Majesty’s command.” Chen Chen answered respectfully. From the moment he found out the other side was Huwang Xiao, regret set in. However, Huwang Xiao already attacked at that time. Forced at the edge of the blade, they couldn't do anything but battle. Now, with Shi Fantian mediating for them, this was the best outcome Chen Chen could hope for.
Shi Fantian nodded, satisfied with Chen Chen’s answer. He turned back to Huwang Xiao, a smile on his face, “Junior Brother, this time, no matter what, you must stay a few days here so I can perform my duty as a host.”
Huwang Xiao laughed, “I’m curious if the wine at your Blessed Buddha Palace tastes good.”
